On the Grid : John Baker

"If you’re seeking for a bread that comes freshly out of the oven, even so in the evening, John Baker is definitely the right address. Crispy crust, intense flavor and a long shelf-life, those are the three pillars of John Bakers’ bakery concept. Only regional, eco-friendly and organic products go over the counter. Compared to the whole bunch of warmed up bread sold from the industrial bakers, John’s bread is freshly made and simply tasty." - Plasmadesign Studio

The 33 Best Restaurants in Zurich, Switzerland | Eater

"Whether you’re in the mood for a snack or a good loaf of bread to take home, John Baker has you covered with a good rotation of items baked throughout the day. There are smaller, roll-sized versions of larger loaves, like olivenbrötli stuffed full of oversized olives, and wheaty ruchbrötli that are ideal for pairing with a chunk of cheese or some mustard. Be sure to grab one of the pretzels with butter or the ubiquitous gipfeli, the Swiss version of the croissant, which is chewier than the French variety." - N.A. Mansour

Unfortunately, this sourdough bread was quite disappointing. Probably not the best sourdough bread. It’s packed with flour and completely lacks the light, airy texture good sourdough should have — instead, it’s dense and heavy like a rock. The taste didn’t make up for it either. I really didn’t enjoy it and wouldn’t buy it again.

The croissant omelette was just out of this world! First time tasting such quality food. I recommend anyone travelling to Zurich to stop by this bakery. Don't get terrified of the price, its value is worth every single cent!

This was where we got breakfast. This place is excellent. Inside, there was a huge selection of food, such as brioche, brioche Au chocolate, cheese cake, croissant and more! It looked very tasty. The staff were quick and prompt to respond our order. Outside, we were sat at a small table, with a view of the street. The food tasted brilliant, tasty and easy to eat. We would definitely go again!!!

Perfect for a quick coffee and croissant. The cashier was patient& swift, even though an elderly customer was rather unfriendly& pushy. There is a small corner inside to sit down& most wonderful smell of fresh bread. Outside are the best spots to listen to the birds& watch the bussy people rush by.

High quality bakery with a great selection of products. Pasties made with organic flour and many intriguing vegetarian options, not easily found in other stores. Beetroot sandwich and smoke wood carrot sandwich were delicious. Interiors very warm and staff extremely helpful and friendly.

Service provided by a lady named Sabrina was excellent. Apparently she is new here. Breads and pastries were delicious and with very high quality. Coffee was great too. John Baker and Sabrina made my day. Thank you!

Yummy pretzel sandwich, bit too much cream cheese. They have croissants, pain au chocolate, brioche, vegan cookies, tarts, olive buns and more. 3-7 CHF each approx

I was drawn to this Bakery because of its look and unfortunately i was right. The interior & exterior are unique, in a good way. Love wood & white interior and the display of all the bread. The bread itself however is so-so. Their organic but the taste itself is quite bland. Tried their coffee & hot chocolate and their also quite bland. The coffee have very little coffee in it, or at least that’s what it taste like. The hot chocolate is even worse. If you love cute bakery / coffee shop and doesn’t rely on taste, this is the place for you!

I love trying all the bakeries in Europe when I travel and this was one of my favorites that I found on my recent trip to Zurich! There are many locations around the city so you are bound to stumble upon one while walking. There is a cool open kitchen concept so you can see the bakers in action inside! It is very cool! The service was super quick and friendly here! The staff are so kind and helpful in guiding you on what breads to get! There are so many options from olive sourdough to grain/nuts breads! I love that there are little rolls and whole loafs!

Super tasty bakery with lots of crusty, fresh baked breads and quality coffee. - Fruit bread: a little too many dried fruits for me, but loved the sourdough + crusty outside - Olive bread: YUM great crusty exterior, and surprisingly the olives were bursting with moisture when eaten Would recommend!

This bakery did not disappoint! Located by the Stadelhofen station, this place was pretty packed during the morning commute hours. I stopped by for a croissant; it was buttery and flaky! Staff was very friendly and spoke good English. I would definitely return to try out other pastries and bread. They have coffee as well.

This place was close to one of the train stations that dropped my friend and I off in Zurich city. We had some bread here in the morning, and it was actually quite delicious! The bread was fluffy and soft on the inside with a nice harder outside, and it actually had a decent amount of flavor! I wish it was easier to find super high quality bread like this in the states, cause the bread here is on another level.

JB has the look down pat. It's airy, open and inviting with natural wood counters displaying gorgeous-looking bread. In addition to edibles, John Baker sells nifty beverages. On offer are freshly pressed/squeezed juices packaged in lidded jars with arty-looking labels, 'natural' ZH-made soda and organic teas from Germany and, for the mainstream soda drinker, Coke. Behind the counter stands a fancy-looking espresso machine that makes a decent cafe creme. Lactose-intolerant folks have the choice of almond or rice milk, I believe, for their bevvies. The (organic) bread selection covers the basics and then some. The selection includes tasty baguettes, Zöpfe--both vegan and butter varieties--Dinkel loaves, Vollkornbrot and (green) olive bread. JB also produces chocolate rolls that remind me of the 'chocolate thing' of Berkeley's Cheeseboard fame, raisin rolls and gipfeli. For the lunch crowd there are pizza slices, sandwiches on both on crusty bread and pretzels and to-go portions of fennel salad. JB also sells pretzels, both wee and standard size and muesli in to-go containers. Apropos 'to-go' there's a bit of a 'steh-cafe' space near one of the entrances, and, usually, a few chairs set up outside, but, in the main, JB is a buy-and-go sort of place. This place is worth a stop-in simply because there's nothing else quite like John Baker in Zurich. Let the smell of fresh bread wash over you! Psst! 'John Baker' is actually a collection of business-savvy Swiss.

My favorite bakery in Zurich. The staff are friendly and the bread is great with the good smell of wheat. Fig bread is a must try and always sold out in the afternoon.

The Sandwiches and hot chocolate were pretty pricy, and they were average too. The environment/setup is quite good though. Quiet and peaceful. Can go do work there over coffee. I'll probably go for a pastry next time.

John Baker is my favorite place for anything bread-related: Nussbrot is amazing, and olive bread just tastes so good. If you are in Zürich, and want an awesome bread experience, go here.

Amazing bread, lunch and coffee. I stumbled upon John Baker by accident earlier this week and have been back twice already. I have tried a few loaves (all great). Almost as pleasing as the bread is the coffee - the first coffee I had here was without a doubt the best I've had on my quest to find good coffee in Zurich. The other days I came back the milk wasn't done as well (more frothy than silky) but the taste was there. Good value also!

THE BEST! Everything they make is delicious. I only wish they offered more pastries!
